Could you use the bug netting for the construction and then have the other material as a drape that is sewn from the top and you can roll it up and keep it up in the summer and then roll it down in case of rain or the cold.

I thought of that, but then, it would be lighter to just make a bug net tent. The problem with my dog is that she wants to look at everything and stay up all night. So, having something that she has to stay put and block what she sees is the main issue I'm having.

I love this, although mine would never sleep without being in the hammock with me. This is just great for those with bigger dogs. I also like the idea of a long leash coming up and attaching to the suspension so that they can't wonder off at night or run loose...yet they can go in and out of their tent as they want.

collapsible crate

Muffin sleeps in her collapsible crate right under and to the side of my hammock, under my tarp if we need one. If there is thunder, she wants up in the hammock with me. That is okay as well if she is dry. If it is very cold, she helps as efficiently as a bottle of hot water, so I ask her to stay up in with me. She is willing.

A dog tent designed by Raiffnuke

Hey guys I just wanted to let you know that I finally posted up the video of the creation and design of the doggie tent. Because this is a prototype feel free to help with design elements and reconstruction for another time. Other than that enjoy the video. I posted it up as a new thread under DIY doggie tent.

Hi Nighthauk,

Did you have a link to the video? I went to your YouTube page but didn't see anything.
